About Ministry of Stories
Ministry of Stories champions the writer in every child. Co-founded by author Nick Hornby in 2010, we help young people discover their confidence, imagination and potential through the power of their writing. We develop self-respect and communication skills through innovative writing programmes and one-to-one mentoring for children living in under-resourced communities, working in schools, and at our dedicated writing centre in east London. We empower young people to write brighter futures for themselves through the power of their ideas, creativity and imagination.
Inspired by San Francisco’s 826 Valencia, you’ll find us hidden behind our own fantastical shop Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, which has been serving London’s monster population (and the occasional human) since 1818. All proceeds from our monstrous offerings such as Cubed Earwax and Thickest Human Snot go back to support our work with young people.
Our programme currently includes:
- Weekly Community Writing Labs and holiday programmes for children and young people, hosted at our Writing Centre in Hoxton
- A Schools Programme delivering creative writing-led educational workshops, projects and training that support school’s needs
- A National Training offer, supporting cultural and education organisations around the country to embed Ministry of Stories methodology for the benefit of their local children, young people and wider communities
The Ministry of Stories is based in East London. We are open to discussing a hybrid of in-office and home working arrangements and the role will involve occasional off-site and evening meetings. The post is subject to a 3-month probationary period and an Enhanced DBS check.
About our fundraising
Now in our 11th year, Ministry of Stories is focused on growing our writing programmes within our community and primary and secondary schools. To achieve this, we have been focused on expanding our sources of funding and increasing our earned income potential from school partners and our shop.
Our overall direction of travel is to spread financial risk by seeking multi-year funding agreements and increasing the proportion of private income for our core work. In particular we aim to grow our number of corporate partnerships and increase our community of individual donors. In time, we aspire to rebuild our community and events fundraising, with a careful eye on return on investment.

The Film and TV Charity is seeking an innovative, dynamic, and solutions-driven Digital Delivery Manager to join a team that is radically reimagining the way they support people working behind the scenes in film, TV and cinema.
The film, TV and cinema sector is a jewel in the UK's crown, both in terms of our exceptional creative talent and the sector's growing economic importance, but a culture of long hours, challenging conditions, and an acceptance of a long-held status quo also mean it can be an incredibly tough sector to work in, with the retention of talent an ongoing problem as a result.
In 2019, the charity found that 9 in 10 people working behind the scenes had experienced poor mental health. The pandemic and the harrowing conversation about systemic discrimination that followed the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 have both only served to exacerbate the problem.
Since the introduction of the Film and TV Support Line in 2018, the charity has been on an exciting journey of change and has joined industry partners at the forefront of the movement to make work better for everyone in the industry. The charity is providing, and continuing to develop, mental health and wellbeing support, financial support and advice, and a host of practical resources that are making a difference to thousands of people every year, but its ambitions are necessarily bolder.
The Digital Delivery Manager is responsible for the effective delivery of the charity's digital-first approach to offering a suite of support services to beneficiaries working in the film and TV industry. They will be responsible for planning, maintaining and developing digital services and platforms, ensuring the offer reflects industry values, is cost effective and places user experience at its centre. Acting as a champion of the charity's digital first approach they will ensure the digital service platform is intuitive and enables seamless, curated client journeys. They will also manage the continuous development and delivery of new digital products and services, working to define and drive forward the charity's digital offering ensuring alignment across clients needs.
The role would suit a creative, tenacious individual with strong management skills and an awareness of digital technologies and agile delivery methods. As well as having strong ideas and enthusiastic opinions about things like usability, app development, web trends, design and outreach, the ideal candidate will also have complete familiarity with the digital production cycle and be passionate about creating user-centric products. Understanding of how the film and/or television industry works is preferable, and a real desire to be part of a team that is passionate about making a difference is crucial.
The charity recognises that people from some backgrounds are under-represented in the film and TV industry and in the third sector and is committed to doing what it can to correct this . Therefore, we are especially keen to receive applications from people of colour; people with disabilities; those who identify as LGBTQIA; people with a mental health condition; and people who identify as working class now or in the past.
